“Questions 15a and 15b are answered "no" because the compensation for certain officers and key management officials of maxis health system is established by trinity health, a related organization. In establishing ceo and cfo compensation, trinity health follows a process and policy that is intended to mirror the irc section 4958 guidelines for obtaining a "rebuttable presumption of reasonableness" with regard to compensation and benefits. As part of that process, the compensation and benefits of the ceo and cfo of maxis health system are reviewed at least annually by the trinity health board or the trinity health human resources and compensation committee (hrcc) of the board, authorized to act on behalf of the board with respect to certain compensation matters. As part of its review process, the hrcc retains an independent firm experienced in compensation and benefit matters for not-for-profit health care organizations to advise it in the determinations it makes on the reasonableness of proposed compensation and benefits arrangements. For other executives who are not part of the rebuttable presumption process, trinity health uses a market analysis to determine the appropriateness of the executive's compensation.”
